BETHLEHEM, OCCUPIED WEST BANK — Palestinians staged a general strike Wednesday to mark the fifth anniversary of their revolt against Israeli rule. Heavy army and police patrols in the occupied West Bank, Gaza Strip and Arab east Jerusalem kept protest activities to a minimum. The revolt is aimed at ending Israeli rule of the territories captured from Jordan and Egypt in the 1967 Middle East war. In the West Bank village of Silat el-Harithiya, Israeli border police fatally wounded a 17-year-old Palestinian after he and another youth hurled a firebomb at their patrol, the army said.
